Rules & Card Effects

Objective: Be the first player to empty your hand. Match the center card's Suit or Number/Rank to play.

Special Cards:

• 2: The next player must pick up 2 cards. (These stack!)
• 8: Skips the next player's turn.
• Black Jack (♠/♣): The next player must pick up 5 cards. (These stack!)
• Red Jack (♥/♦): Completely cancels any active penalty stack without picking up cards.
• Queen (Q): Must be "covered". You get another turn but MUST play a card of the same suit or another Queen. If you can't, you must draw a card!
• King (K): Reverses the direction of play. (In a 2-player game, this acts as a Skip).
• Ace (A): Change the active suit. You can play this on anything.
